Abstract: |
Ten trial-trenches were machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT
archaeologist. Trenches T2, T3, T5, T7, T9 and T10 were 10m long and 1.8m, while trenches T4, T6, T8 and T11 were 15m long and 1.8m wide. With the agreement of the monitor, T1 was not excavated as it was located within the access route to the site, was partially used for car parking, and contained several electrical cables. An archaeological evaluation (eleven trial-trenches) was carried out on land at Tamarisk, 19 The Street, Kirby-le-Soken, in advance of the construction of eight new dwellings, including new access driveways and utilities and slight alterations to the existing dwelling. Ten features were uncovered - five ditches, two pits, a gully, a natural feature and a tree throw - which were most likely the product of agricultural activity at the site from the 17th to the 20th century. A sherd of 13th- to 16th-century pottery was also recovered, indicating that the site may have witnessed an earlier phase of activity too. |
